STSK9

A 100% worth starting any STSK9 courses, especially MVP! Amazing program that changed both my and my dog’s life and I’m forever grateful for the bond we were able to create through this. Although many people think it is only about tricks or flashy obedience, using this method affected our everyday lifes as well, having calmer walks, and being able to manage reactivity. And the best part is that it’s all about what is best for your dog, no shortcuts.

Such an amazing and very intriguing style of training. I was looking for a very specific training system that wasn’t the traditional training style (low key, low energy, correcting behaviours you didn’t want, handler focus because if your dog isn’t looking at you, they aren’t listening) and what stuck out to me the most with STSK9 was that you use your dogs natural instinct and drive to create a nicely well rounded dog in both movement and obedience. If your dog doesn’t have food or toy drive- it can be built with this system. When I first started the MVP program, I did not think we would be able to successfully get through the MVP program to graduate! Nino and Laura are amazing coaches who provide constructive criticism the whole way, helping you reach top notch handling and performance. I absolutely recommend this training system whether you just have a pet dog or a working dog. Any dog, any breed will benefit from these programs but only if the work is consistently put in by the owner! Much appreciated, Mackenzie & Riot the Poodle

Best training program ever! The classes are so detail and interested. I couldn’t find anything as good as this! 🤩 Connection I have with my Golden retriever after MVP program is insane! I recommend it to everyone who love they’re dogs and want more for them ❤️ I started with my dog when he was 3 years old and progress is amazing! Love everything with this program and could ask for more ❤️ I hope more people took this classes and enjoy journey with their dogs 😊

STSK9 completely changed how I see dog training. I went in with the classic mindset of “fixing behaviors” and “solving problems.” I came out with a totally different perspective: building balanced dogs through structure, clarity, and relationship. Training is no longer a task or a power struggle. It’s something we actually look forward to. We’re having a lot of fun, learning together, and I can genuinely feel how much my connection with my dogs has deepened. And most importantly, they want to work with me. We’ve just started 2 months ago and already learned so much and I’m so excited to see how far we can take this! 🙌🏽♥️ I’m honestly recommending Nino’s program to everyone I know who has dogs. It’s truly next level and so much fun for both you and the dog. Also, being part of the community is great. You get so much support and feedback from Nino and Laura and everyone else in the program.

Update: My dog Liza and I completed our MVP journey yesterday with certification. I still can't believe it. When our MVP journey began, Liza was 13 years old. Now she is almost 15. It sounds crazy to complete such a course with such an old dog from the shelter. Not a working dog. But because MVP is explained in very small steps and you are accompanied by Nino and Laura on this journey, the impossible became possible. MVP can make ANYONE the best possible trainer. But if you think that investing in the course is enough and the rest will follow automatically, you will very quickly be brought back down to earth. It is a long journey that can be both wonderful and very challenging. But it is worth it, and I encourage everyone to find their own path. Trust the process! You're not alone. We have the best coaches you could wish for and a great community. You also learn a lot about yourself. I kept asking myself a lot of questions. How much do I really want this? How much am I willing to study intensively? It's not enough to just watch the videos. How much self-discipline do I have? Am I willing to look for the mistake in myself? Am I patient enough? How much enjoyment can I give my dog during training, and how much enjoyment can I get out of it myself? Thanks to MVP, my view of dog behaviour has completely changed. When I see dogs in my neighbourhood loudly ignoring their owners, I now immediately notice the vast amounts of energy they have and start developing strategies for how this energy could be used instead. I can't help it. It happens automatically. MVP is very important to me personally. I have had a rare genetic disorder for 13 years now. My life has not been my own since then, and even though you can't tell by looking at me, it is very challenging for me and, despite my positive attitude, sometimes difficult to bear. These 2 to 5 minutes of MVP training everyday give me my old life back. During these minutes, I hardly feel my illness at all, which is why MVP means so much to me. We learned so many wonderful things. Liza was excited and proud, like a little Malinois. 🙂 And almost as good! But most of all, I am grateful for the bond that has developed between Liza and me. She has become a confident little dog who trusts me 100 %, and we understand each other without using words. This is now necessary, as Liza has become deaf due to her age during our MVP journey. I am grateful for the skills I have learned, which will help me build a close and meaningful bond with any dog. I am very happy that I dared to take this journey and tried the assignments with my special dog, and I thank Nino and Laura for their support along the way.
